Sleeping and not eating

So my Zeus went into burmation kind of late this yr. He slept for like 2 weeks. We changed his UVB bulb and his heat bulbs and he comes out here and there but won’t eat and still sleeping a lot. He’s been in bathtub a few times and outside too. He ate like 5 worms one day then one the next now it’s been like two days and he hasn’t eaten. Should I worry.

As long as your lighting and UVB are on par I wouldnt worry about him- how old is he? Did he drink from the bath? Let him do his thing - it sounds like hes doing the partial brumation thing- just keep an eye on his behavior- watch his weight get a weight on him now so you can keep track of it - weigh in grams on a kitchen food scale - if he is losing a lot of weight that is not good -- then it would be time for a parasite test but normally they dont lose a lot of weight - its either sustained or maybe around 10- 20 grams but any more then there is something wrong

Thanks. Yes he drank water both times in the bath. When I take him outside he walks all over on his leash he’s just not to interested in his food.
